New Beach Rules Implemented in Ocean City, NJ to Control Rowdy Teen Behavior

TL;DR Summary
The mayor of Ocean City, New Jersey, has introduced new beach and boardwalk rules after large crowds of drunken teenagers caused chaos over Memorial Day weekend. The emergency city council meeting has been called to take action against unruly teenagers. The new measures include closing all beaches in Ocean City at 8 p.m., no backpacks allowed on the beach or boardwalk after 8 p.m., moving up the city's curfew for teenagers from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m., and boardwalk bathrooms closing at 10 p.m. The mayor argues the orders are needed because new laws at the state level have put limits on how police can respond to rowdy teens.
